raw nut and seed butter
Posted by: smilebig ()

Can raw butters be made from soaked nuts and seeds? or soaked nuts/seeds that have been dehydrated?

I'd like to make some nut butter where the enzyme inhibitors in the skins have been deactivated. Is this even possible?

I know raw butters can be made from soaked nuts and seeds, however I'm not sure about after they've been dehydrated. I've never tried it but I have read that it makes more almond flour than almond butter - mind you, I'm sure you could add some raw oil to get the consistency.

smilebig -

There's a company in Virginia Sweetwater Market that make nut and seed butters by soaking, then dehydrating, so yes, it can be done. Guess you'd just have to experiment to see what kind of consistency you'd get. I've had the best results using a coffee grinder and fresh unsoaked brazil nuts that I removed from the shell myself.

Soak then put in the food processor. I don't dehydrate & it still works.
